yup looney your gooooo

Woohoo!

Broke off from my work the other day
I spent the evening thinking about all the blood that flowed away
Across the ocean to the second chance;
I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?

Clue: Top 3 hit in the 1980's, and... och, don't wanna make it guessably easy (or easily guessable?), I'll wait to see if no-one gets it first before providing more clues.

jeeees it seems familiar.....its something i've heard recently too.

got it.....proclaimers - letter from america?

Yesssssss....... Actually the first lyrics in it are the chorus so I had to skip that, but yip, Letter from America by the Proclaimers is correct, and it's your goooo.......

I've never seen you look like this without a reason,
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.
I never took the smile away from anybody's face,
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.

Staying on the scottish theme, 80'sa and 90's rock/pop band the singer died december 2006, his first name was Stuart

yes collins your go, welcome to the game and forums

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

Gone off the Scottish theme.

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
*** *** ** ******

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
